This canal-side campsite offers a wonderfully peaceful retreat alongside the Kennet and Avon canal, granting direct access to scenic walking and cycling paths that lead to Devizes and the famous Caen Hill locks. Guests consistently praise the generous size of the pitches, many of which come with both an electric hookup and a drinking water tap, allowing campers to park right beside their tent. The owners are frequently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, putting in extra effort to accommodate late arrivals and foster a relaxed, laid-back vibe. A pond with ducks and geese adds charm and entertainment for children, and the site is overall very dog-friendly, making it a pleasant spot for families and pet owners. The atmosphere is exceptionally tranquil and quiet, ideal for those seeking a restful escape from everyday noise. However, the toilet and shower facilities are a recurring point of criticism: they are often a considerable walk from the camping field, considered outdated or basic, and frequently insufficient in number, with only two or three showers for the entire site. Showers sometimes have temperamental hot water, and the unisex setup may make some guests feel uncomfortable. Road noise from the nearby main road is mentioned by several visitors as a drawback, especially at night. The pitches can be uneven or on a slight slope, so levelling blocks may be necessary, and muddy ground after rain has also been noted. WiFi coverage is virtually nonexistent, and mobile phone signal is weak in the area, which many guests see as a chance to disconnect from technology. The entrance can be difficult to find due to inadequate signage, and the chemical waste disposal point is very basic. Despite these drawbacks, the site is highly valued for its affordability, the cleanliness of its basic facilities, and its serene environment. A small selection of local products is available, adding a nice touch for those who enjoy regional produce. This campsite truly appeals to those seeking a back-to-nature stay, but it may not suit guests with mobility issues or those who require modern amenities and reliable connectivity.
